I’m looking at various resources in order to understand how to create user logins for a website, but every time I try something goes wrong. Specifically…well below is my code, where specifically this line “$numrows = mysql_num_rows($query);” gives me the error “Warning: mysqli_stmt_num_rows() expects parameter 1 to be mysqli_stmt, string given” and I have no clue how to fix this. If someone could help it’d be greatly appreciated. Connection to the database works fine, it’s that one line though that gives me grief.
[CODE]
$myusername = $_POST[‘username’];
$mypassword = $_POST[‘pass’];
if ($myusername && $mypassword) {
$connection = @new mysqli($host, $username, $password, $db_name);
if ($connection->connect_error) {
die(‘Connect Error’ . $connection->connect_error);
} else {
echo ‘Successfully Connected to the Database’;
$query = “SELECT * FROM logins WHERE username = ‘$username'”;
$numrows = mysql_num_rows($query);
if ($numrows !=0) {
while($rows = mysql_fetch_assoc($query)) {
$db_username = $row[‘username’];
$db_password = $row[‘password’];
}
if ($myusername == $db_username && $mypassword == $db_password) {
echo “Login Successful”;
} else {
echo “The username and/or password were incorrect”;
}
}
}
}
